Histologic Tumor Necrosis

Notes

**Note 1**: Tumor necrosis is an independent predictor of outcome for renal cell carcinoma. **Note 2**: Record the presence or absence of tumor necrosis as documented in the pathology report. Assign code 000 if histologic examination of primary site is performed, the pathology report is available for review, and histologic tumor necrosis is not mentioned.
